The 1998 Triumph TR 250 pays homage to the classic British sports car of the 1960s, which gained its fame as a bridge between the TR4A and the iconic TR6. Produced between 1967 and 1968, the original TR250 was known for its combination of elegance, sporting performance and accessible driving pleasure. With a powerful 2.5-liter six-in-line engine and Giovanni Michelotti's timeless design, the TR250 grew to become a beloved classic among fans of British roadsters.
This example of the Triumph TR 250 has been fully body-off restored, leaving nothing to chance. The chassis has been thoroughly addressed, kicked for extra protection and finished with a durable two-component paint. The 2.5-liter six-cylinder engine has been rebuilt by the renowned Van Giersbergen and still delivers impressive performance, with a powerful driving experience that stays true to the TR250's sporty character. The stainless steel exhaust adds a deep and distinctive sound, making every drive an experience. The car has been owned by the current owner for 37 years.
The exterior features classic wire wheels that perfectly match the car's authentic design. The new "double duck" convertible top not only offers protection from the elements, but it is also fully waterproof, providing extra comfort on less sunny trips. Thanks to the reinforced swingarm, the chassis is not only visually in top condition, but also reinforced for added strength and improved handling. This makes the car suitable for both relaxed touring and more dynamic riding.
The driving pleasure of this Triumph TR 250 is further enhanced by the attention to detail during its restoration. The car starts effortlessly and rides smoothly, adding to its ease of use without compromising its authentic character. The interior exudes classic charm, with solid materials and a cockpit that invites the true sports car feel of the 1960s.
In addition to the convertible top, the car comes with a custom-made polyester hardtop, making the TR250 comfortable to drive even in the colder months. Also included are the original bumpers - complete with all brackets and bolts - and a classic trunk rack, further emphasizing its practicality and classic look.
This Triumph TR 250 is not only pleasing to the eye, but also offers the performance and reliability you would expect from a restored classic. A unique opportunity for fans of British sports cars looking for a driveable classic with character and history.
